On September 11, Marco Monaco, co-founder and Growth Lead of Linea, announced his departure from the role and stated that he would no longer be affiliated with Linea in any capacity. Over the past two years, Monaco dedicated nearly 20 hours daily to bring business vision to Linea, building an energetic ecosystem. He emphasized that by allocating more time, he aims to realize his vision and reshape perceptions of Linea beyond its mining purpose, focusing more on the Linea community and enhancing organic engagement through MetaMask. Monaco explained that Linea is currently undergoing a significant transformation. Consensys leadership agreed with him that their visions are no longer aligned for Linea's best path of development. Therefore, it is now time for Consensys and MetaMask to fully take over and drive the network's growth.
